At this moment, Bian Xingchen returned home, with his brother Xingyan.
"You mean... there is a hidden member in the club?" In the study, after taking a sip of coffee, Bian Xingyan looked at his anxious younger brother, and asked, "Can that 'member' know the content of the task issued by the administrator?"
"Yes. Brother, you know what to do..."
"What club did you join? It sounds very interesting." Xing Yan put down his coffee cup and said, "Well, let me think about it first. Are you going back tomorrow? Don't you want to stay longer? You said you live in How about the location of the apartment? How about taking me to see it if you have time? "
Xing Chen quickly waved his hand and said, "No, no need... there's no need for that..."
no need for that...
What would it mean if you took your brother there? Perhaps, the elder brother can also become a resident. In that way, my unbalanced mentality can be eliminated, because my brother, like myself, is in that horrible apartment like hell. Even if he is talented and intelligent, if he is not inferior to Li Yin and Ke Yinye, how many times can he survive the scarlet letter
This vicious thought has been entrenched in his mind lately.
At this time, the mobile phone on his desk rang.
It was an unfamiliar number. Xingchen picked up the phone to connect, put it to his ear, and asked, "Hello, who is it?"
"Bian Xingchen?"
This is a voice that seems to be made by covering the earpiece with a cloth and deliberately changing the tone. It sounds like there is no kindness in that voice.
"I, I am, who are you?"
"Is there anyone with you?"
"Well, there are."
"Find a quiet place, I have something important to tell you. It's about... your life or death."
Hearing such terrifying words, Xingchen couldn't help but get goosebumps. He stood up, walked out of the room, walked around the corridor to an unoccupied room, locked the door after entering, and then asked softly, "You...what's the matter?"
"Are you sure there is no one around?"
"Yes... Confirmed."
"Very well." The hostile voice continued, "Let's talk about it. Simply put, do you want to live?"
Hearing this sentence, Xingchen's heart jumped suddenly, and then asked: "Hey, you, who are you? How do you know..."
"But, how long do you think you can live if this continues?"
Xingchen felt cold all over. He touched his nose and asked, "You, who are you? Are you a resident of the apartment? Or..."
"Last time, when you first looked back, your eyes were replaced."
Hearing this, Xingchen's heart was shocked.
"Anyway... let's make a deal."
"trade?"
"I don't think you can tell others about my existence, right? The transaction is very simple. In the future, I can provide you with what you have been dreaming of. But what can you give me in return?"
"You, don't pretend to be a ghost, are you a human or a ghost?" Xing Chen was already considering whether to escape back to the apartment, the voice seemed too weird!
"In my opinion... people are more terrifying and disgusting than ghosts. Listen, I will give you a free information first. I will send you a MMS later, and then I will contact you tomorrow You. If you intend to trade with me, I will say live, and I will ask you for the reward."
Then, the phone hung up.
Xingchen pinched the phone, feeling very uneasy at the moment. After a while, a new MMS message was displayed. Xingchen clicked on the multimedia message immediately.
Looking at the MMS letter, Xingchen began to think...
The subway continued on.
Ziye sat down, the parting with Li Yin just now, and the warmth of Li Yin still in her hand, made her unforgettable.
Sitting next to Ziye, Min kept looking sideways at this woman, and couldn't help feeling in her heart that in such an apartment, she could actually reap such a great love.
It can be considered a blessing!
"Listen," Ziye suddenly said, "Jiangfeng Garment Factory has a huge site, and our key search targets should be concentrated in the inventory warehouse and garment workshop. These two places are likely to be damaged to a certain extent. Find that ancient wedding dress. But now there is a question, you all know it, right?"
The other three were also staring at Ziye's face. Everyone knew that she was as intelligent as Li Yin and the Ke brothers and sisters in the apartment, and she dared not miss every word she said.
"The fragment of the hell contract, when we find the wedding dress, I'm sure the four of us all want to get it, right?"
Min's heart skipped a beat. That's right... Everyone wants to get the fragments of the hell contract!
Naturally, everyone wants to be able to sneak in undetected, that's the best. Residents and tenants will uphold the tacit agreement not to search each other when carrying out blood letters. After all, once a body search occurs, it will be disadvantageous for everyone.
"If the four of us gather together to search for the wedding dress, once we find it, there will naturally be a fight. After all, we are executing the blood letter, and escape is the first priority. No matter what, if we compete with each other and cause bloodshed, the consequences will be disastrous."
Although Li Yin said those words, the premise is that "Ziye is dead". In other words, if Ziye is not dead, then Li Yin can't say anything. Everyone knows that the apartment is currently in a delicate state of checks and balances, and no one will take actual actions to seize the contract fragments for the time being. Who are the people who hold the fragments, just know it in your heart, and don't point it out.
"However, if all four of you are separated, you will not agree. First, if you act alone, you will naturally be more afraid, and it will give the ghost more opportunities to attack. Second, you will worry that other people will secretly obtain the fragments and punish them." Private possession. Isn’t it? So, I made a compromise and suggested that we should be divided into two groups, one group will search the inventory warehouse, and the other group will search the garment workshop. In this way, it is neither completely dispersed, but also Supervise each other. Even if there is a dispute over the capture of the fragments, the bloodshed can be minimized. What do you agree?"
Hearing what she said, everyone hesitated. If the four of them gathered together and snatched the contract fragments, they would inevitably be injured, and in severe cases, they might even cause death. Everyone dared not kill Ziye, but the other three were completely different. As a result, the ghost hasn't come out yet, but instead, the residents fight in the nest. Isn't that...
"I agree." Shen Ziling was the first to express his opinion: "That's it."
Min, on the other hand, was still a little hesitant. Was there only one person by her side? Well, this is too...
It would be great if we could find Shen Yu. If we had Shen Yu's paintings, we wouldn't be as blind as we are now. Deep rain... Where did it go
And the afro-headed Kindley picked his nose, tilted his head, thought for a while, and said, "Isn't that appropriate? What if another group of people find the contract fragments? If they hide them privately, then just..."
Ziye turned her head to Kindley and said, "Think carefully. Once four people get together and fight for the contract fragments, the consequences will be unimaginable. It takes physical strength to avoid ghosts and escape back to the apartment. It is not surprising that four people fight, even if people die Things. If you are seriously injured, you can’t even walk steadily, and there is no place to escape when the ghost comes out. You should remember that the blood-letter instructions, the first consideration is to survive, and the second is to plot the contract fragments!”
This sentence was like a slap in the face, and Min became sober. She nodded and said, "Okay... I agree too."
In fact, when ghosts really appear, even an army is powerless to resist. What difference does it make if there are four or two
But at this moment, what Ziye cared more about was the ancient wedding dress itself.
The wedding dress worn by women in ancient times was also called Xiapei, such as the so-called Fengguanxiapei. It is generally bright red, embroidered with mandarin ducks and other auspicious objects to express festiveness.
In modern weddings, although some people do not choose wedding dresses, but use red dresses similar to Xiapei as wedding dresses, I am afraid that there are not many ancient wedding dresses that are completely antique, such as phoenix crowns and hipas (that is, red hijabs worn by brides). ) are rarely used anymore.
That ancient wedding dress obviously has a lot of mystery behind it!
Last time, on the midnight bus, it was Li Gui who held the contract fragments, and it was obvious that the person who snatched the fragments was Yin Ye. He was able to successfully capture this fragment, although there were elements of courage and strategy, but there were more factors of luck.
But luck is an accidental factor, and no one can live forever by luck. If the wedding dress is some kind of incarnation of a ghost, then looking for it is tantamount to seeking death. Ziye knew this very well, so she also repeatedly emphasized that survival is the first priority, and the second is to try to get the contract fragments.
And to ask for a living, naturally the most important thing is to find a way out. What needs to be determined now is whether not being close to the wedding dress will be a way out? But she immediately denied it. The apartment has always balanced the difficulty of blood characters, and will not design contradictory content. Now that the contract fragments are released, residents will naturally be given the opportunity to obtain them. If obtaining fragments is tantamount to a dead end, then it will destroy the consistent principle of Scarlet and become meaningless. After all, the apartment doesn't want their lives at all, but makes them struggle for survival in bloody words again and again!
"Passengers, the next stop is Wenhua Road. Passengers who want to get off the bus, please get ready."
When the car arrived at the station, everyone was shivering, and Min's hands kept shaking. The last time, she was trapped in the cockpit of the ferris wheel and had almost no way to survive the horror experience, which made her terrified of the scarlet words. At this time, even though the car door was opened, he still didn't dare to stand up, looked at Ziye with a begging expression, and said, "Ying...Miss Ying, please help me, I, I don't want to die...I really don't want to die..."
No matter how many times you have thought about committing suicide before, facing a death situation beyond your control, anyone will have this reaction.
"If you find a way to survive, you won't die." Ziye's answer was very simple: "Go down."
Then Ziye stood up and walked towards the door of the car. But Min is like bleeding at this moment: If you find a way out, you won't die... Do you think everyone is a monster with unlimited IQ just like you! You have already passed three times, and it is very likely that you took a fragment, and you still have a boyfriend, Li Yin, and me... what do I have? Even the deep rain has abandoned me...
She stood up suddenly, and walked towards the car door, her heart was full of curses and hatred: Go to hell... Go to hell, you woman! Die at the hands of ghosts! I want to see if you can still be so calm when you are cornered by ghosts!
"Go from Wenhua Road." Shen Ziling unfolded a map, pointed to a path drawn with a red line, and said, "Cross Pingdong Road and then Jiangwei Bridge, you will arrive at the old factory site of Jiangfeng Garment Factory."
After getting off the subway station, you will come to Wenhua Road. Wenhua Road is a relatively long road close to the suburban area, and Jiangwei Bridge can be said to be the dividing line between the urban area and the suburban area. Some agricultural products from the suburbs are transported into the urban area through this bridge. It was built over 30 years ago. In the past, it straddled an inland river in K city. Here, it is very close to the Zhenyun Dam in K City. Because city K is very close to the coastal city city S, many inland rivers flow through it, and many dams have been built in the suburban areas. Zhenyun Dam is a dam built nearby.
After coming from Wenhua Road to Pingdong Road, the road became a little rough, and the surrounding area began to become some low bungalows. In the distance, Ziye had already seen Jiangwei Bridge.
After crossing this bridge... we will arrive at Jiangfeng Garment Factory.
At this moment, everyone is extremely nervous, constantly guarding their surroundings, and their bodies are very close. Shen Ziling still had that stern expression, and Kindley was also very cautious. Min was still very disturbed, she followed Ziye closely, and if there was any problem, she would run away immediately.
"Okay. Let's go here first." Ziye said: "After crossing this bridge, it's too close to Jiangfeng Garment Factory. Let's go to a nearby place for a while. We'll gather there after 11 o'clock in the evening. Here, enter Jiangfeng Garment Factory."
Looking at the other side of the bridge, everyone is imagining... What kind of nightmare is waiting for them there? How many people who have walked across this bridge can walk back
At this time, at Bian's house.
Xingchen put on the coat hanging on the hanger, and said to Xingyan: "Brother, I have to go first. There are some things to do."
"Leave now? Don't you stay for dinner?" Xing Yan said earnestly: "Also, stay a little longer, maybe father will call."
"Speaking of which, did your father contact you recently and mention your mother's condition?"
"The details are not clear, but it seems to be getting better recently. After a while, maybe my father will bring my mother to China. Although the Bian family has lived abroad for a long time, my mother was born and raised in China after all."
"Really?" Xing Chen thought while buttoning the buttons: If my parents really come, what if they want to see me
He also couldn't help worrying. However, there is no other way at this time.
However, what concerned him more was the phone call and the multimedia message. That call, after calling back, I found out that it was a public phone booth on the side of the road. The other party seemed too mysterious.
Is that person a human or a ghost
He wanted to get back to the apartment as soon as possible, it was too disturbing to be outside.
This house is really big. He walked for a long time, but still couldn't find the way down. After all, he came to live in China with his brother, and his father bought this villa, so he didn't stay for a long time. My elder brother came to teach in a university in China because he wanted to do research in his motherland, and Xing Chen was assigned by his father to stay beside Xing Yan to "learn" from him. In fact, Xingchen grew up abroad, so he doesn't have a special sense of belonging to China. Moreover, he also regretted why he didn't come to China resolutely, otherwise, he wouldn't have entered the apartment.
But it's too late to say that now.
Finally, Xingchen found the long spiral staircase and walked down. While walking, he was still holding his mobile phone and reading the MMS message.
"It's just so quiet in this house."
Walking to the bottom of the building, I looked at the huge and empty corridor, but there was no sound at all. After all, it made people feel uncomfortable. My father didn't know what he thought at the beginning. There was only two people living together, and it was impossible to live in China all the time, so why buy such a big single-family villa. Money is not so wasteful. He is well aware of how ridiculous the domestic housing prices are today. Such a luxurious and huge villa is absolutely out of reach for people with ordinary income levels!
"It's too quiet, too quiet..."
Feeling more and more inexplicably uneasy, Xingchen hurriedly ran towards the gate.
Time flies and night falls. Soon, it was past eleven o'clock.
At the head of Jiangwei Bridge, Zi Ye and other four people gathered and walked towards the other end of the bridge!
